PREFACE 



CONSIDERING the variety of Spelling Books al- 
ready before the publick, some apology may be expect'" 
ed for attempting to add this to their number : but as 
the author does not intend, at this. time, to investigate 
the merits, or enumerate the defects, of those now in 
use he has only to state ; that, from a considerable ex- 
perience in teaching, he has observed several inconven- 
iencies in the use of all with which he has been acquaint 
tad : and that, to obviate these, and to present the pub- 
liek with an elementary work, at once copious, com*« 
prehensive, perspicuous, and systematick, he has been 
induced to make the following compilation. 

Tb© plan of the work, it is believed, is entirely new, 
and from observation, the author is led to conclude that 
it is the most simple, and natural method that has been 
adopted. 

In the execution, no pain3 have been spared to render 
the performance complete. 

The mode of pronunciation is such, that the sounds 
of all the vowels, accented, and unaccented, are given 
with as much precision as they could be, by W aiker'is 
method. 

In selecting the reading lessons, the author has con- 
sidered that the book is for children, and has chosen 
such subjects and language, as he thinks best adapted 
to their capacities. Schools are already well furnished 
with reading books suited to the use of the more advan* 



PREFACE 

ced pupils, for which reason, lessons in difficult reading 
have been avoided, that the work may be better fitted 
for the use of those, for whose benefit it is particular!}' 
designed. 

To adapt the work to the convenience of reading in 
classes, (the more customary mode of reading in primary 
schools) the lessons are given in short sentences, or ver- 
ses ; and one half of each page is occupied with reading, 
and one half with spelling lessons ; by which is formed, 
as much continuity in each, as would be, were they in 
separate volumes ; and thus is obviated a considerable 
inconvenience, experienced from detached lessons, scat- 
tered throughout the book. 

One or two entire pages of reading have been inser- 
ted between most of the different grades of spelling, with 
a view to assist scho lars in turning to their places. 

Through the whole' it has been the Author's aim to 
form such an arrangement as might, at the same time, 
accelerate the progress of the learner, and alleviate the 
teacher's task : and with the most sincere desire for the 
improvement of the rising generation, and for their ad- 
vancement in virtue^ the work is present ed to the publick, 
By their devoted servant, 

WILLIAM BOLLES. 

New-London, Conn. October, 1S26. 



EXPLANATORY REMARKS. 



THE pronunciation ofth© words in the spelling les- 
sons is pointed out by figures placed over the syllables 
containing vowel sounds 

When no figure or letter is placed ovet a syllable, 
tjie vowel in that syllable is not sounded. 

When one letter assumes the sound of another, the 
letter representing the assumed sound, is placed over 
the syllable. 

The figures or letters placed at the top of a line, show 
the sound of all the words in thai line, unless contra- 
dicted by others. 

For the convenience of reference, there is placed at 
£jie top of each page, a Key of all the sounds occur- 
ir*g in that pa^e. 

IE¥ a 

Figure I ; represents the sound of a as in fate,, 

e as in he, me 
i as in pine, 
o as in no, 
u as in cube, 

Figure 2, represents the sound of a as in fat, 

e as in met 
i as in pin. 
o as in not, 
u as in cub. 

Figure 3, represents the sound of a as in hall, 

o as in nor, 
u as in fuii, 

Figure 4, represents the sound of a as in far, 

o as in move 

Figure 5< reo resents tic sound of a n' in para 



C, and G, in the Roman character, sound hard, a? in 
colly give: in the back slope, they have their soft sound 
as in civil, gentle. 

S back slope, sounds like z* 

X at the beginning of words, sounds like 2, in other 
situations, when printed in the Roman character,it sounds 
like ks ; in the back slope, like gz. 

Ch, Roman sound like tsh as in ivhich ; back slope 
like A; as in chord ; small capitals, like sh as in machine, 

Gh, when both sounded, have usually the sound of/. 

Th, in Roman, sound as in thin ; in the back slope as 
in this. 

Phj, when both sounded, have the sound of /, except 
in nephew, Stephen^ where they have the sound of v. 

When i, followed by another vowel, begins an unac- 
cented syllable, it has the sound of y. 

When u leng, begins a syllable, or forms one, it has 
its full sound like yu ,as in union , past-ure. 

Aw, have the sound of a in hall* 

Ewj sound like u. 

Ow, when both sounded, have the sound of ou 4 

Ui, when both pronounced in one syllable, sound 
like itft, as in languid. 

Letters printed in Italick are silent.

XIX. 
Come let us go 
And take a walk 
In the wide field, 
To see the lambs. 

XX. 
Look ! what is there ? 
A herd of cows ; 
They feed on grass. 
Do see them eat* 

XXI. 
See that red cow ! 
How fast she runs j 
iilie has a calf, 
USee how it plays. 



XXII. 
Where are the lambs t 
They are not here* 
We shall find then^ 
If we walk on. 

XXIII. 
There are the lambs, 
in the next lot : 
How brisk they are, 
O, see them skip, 

XXIV. 
The sheep bear wool ; 
It keeps them warm, 
But we have clothes, 
To. keep as warm.

He that made all things is God : 
He made the sun, and the moon ; 
And the stars are the work of his hands ; 
He made us too, and we are his, 

II. 
The sun gives us light by day ; 
The moon and stars give light by night. 
The day is made for work : 
And the night is made for rest. 

III. 
If we sleep when it is day we waste our time 
And if we waste our time, we are not wise ; 
They that are wise, will try to learn ; 
They will do that which is right*

For we do not want them to hurt us, 
And we must do as we like to be done to ; 
e must not spend too much time in play.

We shall not live long in this world, 

But while we live we must do good, 
That when we die we may go to rest : 
For all that are on the earth shall (lie. 

XI V. 

The day will come when all the dead shall rise 
And stand before the God of all the earth. 
And he will part the wicked from the good j 
And he will drive the wicked from before his 

face. XV. 

But God will take the good to live with him ; 
And they shall live in joy,and die no more : 
x 7 or they shall not be sick any mare, 
And they shall have no more pain. 

XVI. 
We must think of God at all times, 
Both w r hen we work^nd when we play ; 
When we go out, a4| ^n we come in. 
We will praise the I Wbr he is very kind.

We must be kind to the poor, and give 
them what they need, if we can- 

If you wish to be great, wise, and good, 
read with care such books as have been 
ma. le by wfle and good men. 

A good book is like a good friend, it will 
teach you good things. 

Bad books are like bad men, they will 
teach you wrong things, and lead you onto 
sir and death.

Ann is not one of those girls that play in 
school, and slight their books. 

She speaks plain and reads well, and is 
so mild and kind, that she gains the good 
will of all that know her. 

Jane too is a good girl; all her friends 
love her. 

She is now but six 3'ears old, and she

They loved you 3 andtook care of you when 
you were little, and poor, and helpless; 

When you could not talk, nor walk about 
nor do scarcely any thing but cry. 

Then you gave them a great deal of trou- 
ble, but they did not neglect you. 

Who is so kind to you as your parentis ? 
or who takes so much pains to instruct you? 
They provide food for you, and clothes, 
and warm beds to sleep in at night. 

They are glad when you are pleased, and 
scrry when you are in trouble. 

When you are sick, and in pain, they pity 
you, and teaderly wait upon you, and nurse 
you.

If your parents are sick,or in trouble, do 
all that you can to comfort them. 

If they are poor, work, that you may be 
able to assist them. 

How can we do too much, for those who 
have done so much for us ? 

Take pains to improve in reading, and 
writing, and in every thing your parents 
teach you, or wish you to learn. 

Do not think you know better than your 
parents and teachers ; 

For they have lived a great while longer 
than you.

Our parents are very good to us, but God, 
is better than our parents. 

God has done much for us; he gave us our 
parents, and every thing that wehave. 

He is not a man ; he is wiser, and better, 
than any man ever was, or ever will be. 
He made the sun. the moon, and the stars ; 
the earth, the sky, and the waters. 

He made the trees, and the flowers, the 
beasts, and the birds; the fishes, and the in- 
sects. 

But he has made us more excellent than 
the beasts, for he has given us a soul. 

It is our souls that know God, that he is 
good, and wise, and powerful. 

The beasts do not know God. iior think 
of any of his ways.

ii we should tell them, they wouldliot 
understand us. 

Our bodies will die like the beasts, and 
they will be laid in the grave ; 

And our flesh, and our bones, will dissolve, 
rnd mingle with the earth, 

But our souls are immortal ; they will nev- 
er die. 

GGd orders every thing,he keeps us alive, 
knd can make us die %vhen he will. 

He sees us wherever we are, by night as 
Well as by day. 

He knows all that we do,or say, or think ; 
^here is nothing which he does not know. 

When it is Spring, the little birds are 
very busy in making their rests.

&ome make their nests on high trees, and 
some on the ground. 

Some make their nests in the woods ; and 
others, in the fields, and meadows. 

Some build on the rails of a fence, while 

others search for a hole, in the limb of a tree, 

Some nests are made in thick bushes and 

briers ; and others, in houses, barns and 

chimneys, 

Some, with much labour, p£c£ holes in 
trees that are dead, stnc^fiiake nests there. 
Others lay their eggs on the ground, 
without making any nest at all. 
> Now,boys, if you find any nests, do not rob 
them of their eggs, nor of their young ones. 
You may look at the little birds, ia the 
nests, but do not hurt them.

You would not like to be taken away from 
your father, and mother, and home 

So you must not take the little birds away 
from their soft, warm nests. 

You cannot feed them so well as the old 
birds can, nor take so good care of them. 

Little boys who take birds from their 
nests sggMj grow tired of them, and forget 
to fgeyMp^n ; and then the little birds die. 

^fuTThe old birds do not forget to feed 
their young ones. 

They do not leave them till they can tly 
away, and take care of themselves.

Often, in the day, they think of him, and

We must pray to God, and desire him to

We mast ask him to put good thoughts in 
otur minds, and to help us to do better. 

We must pray that he will bless us, arid 
our parents, and our friends, and give us 
those things which we need. 

We shpuld do the things which God re-

When you are relating any thing, that

Do not alter any part of it, to make, as you

If you do not remember it all, say that 
you have forgotten it. 

Persons who love the truth, never tell a 
lie, even in jest. 

Think before you make a promise* wheth- 
er you can perform it. 

For if you say you will do aity thing, and 
xlo it not, you tell a lie. 

And then no one will trust you, or believe 
what you say. 

If you have done wrong, do not deny it, 
even to avoid being punished.

If you are sorry, and try to do so no more, 
people will very seldom be angry with you, 
or punish you* 

They will love you for speaking the truth ; 
they will think they may always believe you. 

When you see very old and deformed 
people, you must not laugh at them nor 
mock them. 

For though you are now so young and 
active, you may have a fall, and break your 
bones and be lame, and deformed. 

And if you live to be old, your hair will 
become gray, and fall off. 

You will lose your teeth, and your face 
will be covered with wrinkles. 

And you will be very weak, almost like 
little children

And perhaps you may be blind and deaf,

Would you then like to have naughty boys 
and girls laugh at you, and play you tricks ? 
No ; you would want every body to be 
kind to you, and try to help you. 

Now it is winter, cold winter ; the ground 
is covered with snow, and the birds do not 
sing in the trees. 

But the days are growing longer, &nd it 
will soon be spring. 

Spring is come ; it is very pleasant; there 
is no snow upon the ground. 
The grass begins to grow and look green, 
and there are buds on the trees. 

Now there will be daisies, and cowslips 
and a great many pretty flowers* 



44 



Soon there will be blossoms^on the trees, 
and they will be covered with green leaves. 

Now there are young lambs, and chick- 
ens a;nd goslings. 




The birds now fill the air with their sweet 
musick, while they fly from tree to tree. 

In the Spring the farmer ploughs his 
ground, and prepares it to receive the seed. 

He rises early kfthe morning, and cheer- 
iullf performs the labour of the day. 

When the ground is prepared, he sows 
the seed, and covers it with soft earth. 

Gentle showers cause it to spring up ; 
the warm sun also maketh it grow. 

The Spring is past ; now it is Summer ; it 
is very warn^and the days are long. 

There wiH* now be ripe fruit; cherries, 
and currants, and peaches, and many other 
kinds. 

Now theje will be roses that smell so 
sweet, and fine pinks. 

Hark ! what noise is that ? it is the mower 
whetting his scythe. 

It is hay timp ; he is going to cut down the 
grass, and the pretty flowers. 



45 

Let us go into the field. See, a part of 
the grass is already cut down; 

The men and boys, with their forks and 
rakes, are spreading it about 

How hard they work ; come, let us help 
them make the hay. 

How sweet the hay smells ; when it is 
quite dry, it must be made into stacks' 

Hay is for sheep, and cows* and horses, 
to eat, in the winter, when there is no green 






grass 



Now is the time of wheat harvest ; the 
wheat is brown, it is quite ripe. 

There are the reapers with their sharp 
sickles ;they are come to reap down the 
wheat, and the rye. 

When it is dry, it must be taken to the 
barn to be threshed. 

Then it must be sent to the mill to be 
ground; when it is ground, it is called flour, 

Flour is made into bread, and bread is for 
us to eat. 

Now the summer is over, and the days 
are not so long as they were. 

There are few flowers in the fields ; and 
the leaves are falling from the trees. 

Autumn is come ; and the weather begins 
to be cool. 

The farmer now hastens to gather his 
crops, to secure them from the cold frost. 

The spring is past; and the labours of 
summer and autumn are past. 

Winter is again come ; the weather is cold ; 
and now the boys may go to schopl

I have been looking at the lambs, said 
Emma, to her papa, one morning, and could 
not help smiling, though alone, to see them 
jump about so lively* 

Should you like to have one," replied her 
papa, to call your own ? 

Em. I should, sir ; it would please me 
very much. 

Pa. Go with me then into the yard ; here 
are two pretty Iambs that are twins ; their 
dam is dead, and if you will take good care 
of tiiem, they shall be yours. 
Em. I thank you, papa ; I will feed them 
every day. 

Pa- But stop, my dear ; I have just thought 
of your little brother.

Why that silence, my child, are you not

you ? 

Em. I ought to be willing, I know; but I 
do not feel quite so. 

Pa. What shall we give then to Henry ? 
I fear he will cry, when he hears you have 
two lambs, and he none. 

Mm* I will give him the little robin, that 
cousin James gave me the other day, and 
the cage with it.

Em. I think it would grieve me very much. 

Pa, You must learn then, my dear, to do 
to others, as you would like to have them 
do to you, 

Em. I will give one to Henry with all my 
heart ; I would much rather he would have 
one, than to have them both myself. 

Pa. 1 am glad to see you so willing, my 
child; Henry will now be as happy as your- 
self, when you walk together, and call your 
little lambs by whatever names you please. 

Come, let us praise God, for he is very 
Treat; let us bless God. for he is verv aooii.

The little birds sing praises to God, when 
they warble sweetly in the green shade. 

The brooks and rivers praise God, as

I will praise God with my voice ; for 1 
may praise him though I am but a little 
child. 

A few years ago, I was a little infant, and 
my tongue was dumb within my mouth ; 

And I did not know the great name of 
God, far my reason was not come unto me.

People now rest in quiet on their beds ; 
and the young child sleeps, in the arms of 
its mother. 

Night is spread over the sky, and dark- 
ness covers the ground ; every eye is shut, 
and every hand is still. 

Who taketh care of people when they 
sleep ? when they cannot defend them- 
selves, or see if danger come. 

There is an eye that never sleeps ; there 
is an eye that seeth, as well in the dark 
night, as in the day* 

The eye that sleepeth not is Gods ; he 
watcheth over all the families of the earth. 

When there is no light of the sun, nor of 
the moon ; when there is no lamp in the 
hqi&e, his eye seeth every where.

He made sleep to refresh us when we are 
weary ; he made the night that we might 
deep in quiet. 

The mother stilleth every little noise, and 
drawetli the curtains round the bed of her 
infant, and shutteth out the light from its 
tender eyes. 

So God draweth the curtain of darkness 
around us ; he maketh all things to be hush- 
ed and still, that his large family may sleep 
in peace. 

Labourers spent with toil, and young chil- 
dren, and every little humming insect ; you 
may sleep, for God watches over you. 

You may sleep, for he never sleeps ; you 
may close your eyes in safety, forkis eye is 
always open to protect you.

When the darkness is passed away, and 
the morning beams return, we should be- 
gin the day with praising God, who hath kept 
us through the night. 

Let his praise be in our hearts, when we 
lie down ; let his praise be on our lips, when 
we awake. 

TAe good little Girl. 

She always minds what her father and 
mother say to her, and takes pains to rem- 
ember what they teach her. 

Her parents like to have her with tliem, 
for she does not make a noise or give them 
any trouble. 

They like to talk with her,and teach her, 
and she listens to all that they say. 

When she is told of a fault, she S 
avoid it another tkae.

She likes to sit by her mother, and learn 
to sew and to knit. 

She never slights her work,but takes pains 
to do it well. 

If she does any thing wrong, or makes a 
mistake, she is very sorry. 

She is always very careful to keep her 
work clean. 

If her hands are dirty, she washes them 
before she begins her work. 

She seldom lose^ier thread, or her nee- v 
dies, or any thing &m works with. 

She does not stick needles in her sleeve, 
nor put pins in her mouth; 

She puts her needles in her needle book, 
and she has a pincushion for her pins. 

She takes care of her own clotheSj and 
jfolui them up very neatly. 



56 

When she sees a hole in any of her clothes^ 
she mends it, or asks her mother to ha-ye it 
mended. 

She does not wait till it is very large* for 
then she knows it would he more work. 

She does not like to see any thing wasted, 

She never throws away 5 or burns crumbs of 
bread, peelings of fruitjor small pieces of cloth 

For she knows that the chickens, and 
little birds will eat the crumbs. 

And she has seen the pigs feeding on the 
peelings of fruit. 

She knows that paper is made out of rags, 
so she saves them all. 

As soon as she is old enough, she irons 
her own clothes and makes her ownfaed. 

She likes to feed the chickens, and the 
young turkeys, and to give them clean water 
to drink. 

She likes to work in her little garden, to 
v/eed it^andto sow- seeds, and plant roots in it. 

She always likes to be busy, and useful, 
and will do any thing to assist her mother. 

If all little girls were so good, how much 
happier they would be. 

'J. hey would give joy to their parents, and 
comfort to all their friends. 



Do not be curious to know, what people 
do not wish to tell you. 

Do not look at their letters, or what they 
are writing, unless they give you leave. 

Do not listen at doors, or other places, where 
the people who are talking, do not see yo .

Flee from sin as thou woulqst from a ser- 
pen t,for if thou comest near it,it will bite thee. 
The teeth thereof are as the tee h of a 
ffoo, slaying the souls of men. 
0~ 




Some bdys ono day .got a pigeon that was 
I&ine,and ita wings being cut,it could not hy. 

So they put it down to be thrown at with 
a slick ; that he who should kiiock it down, 
should have if. 

But just as they were going to throw, 
little Mary came along, and begged them to 
£iop, and said she would buy the bird. 

How much, said she, must I give for it? 
Six cents, said one of the boys. 

I have but four cents, said Mary ; take 
all my money ; t do not Want the bir d ; but 
do not use it ill. 

How should we like to be thrown at with 
flicks, and stones f 

The poor birds can feel pain, as well as 
boys and girls : And it is not right, for 
sport, to hurt any of God^s creatures ; we 
should use them with mercy. 

So they took Mary's money, and gave her 
the bird. These were cruel boys.

I have seen the wicked in great power ; 
spreading himself Kke a green bay tree. 

Yet he passed away, and la, he was not : I 
sought him ; but he could not he found. 

A little that a righteous man hath, is better 
than the riches of many wicked. 
For the arm of the wicked shall be broken ; 
but the Lord upholdeththe righteous. 

The steps of a good man are ordered by 
the Lord, and he rlelighteth in his way. 

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast 
down ; for the Lord upholdeth him with his 
hand. 

I have been young, but now am old ; yei 
have I never seen the righteous forsakes, 
nor his seed begging bread, 

Mark the perfect man ; and behold the 
upright; for the end of that man is peace,-

The good Scholar. 

A good scholar always likes to go to school. 

He will never miss a day when his pa- 
rents will let him go. 

He never goes to school with dirty hands, 
©r a dirty face, or long nails. 

When he is at school, he sits or stands, in 
his own place. 

He does not take the other scholars' things, 
nor put them out of place. 

When strangers come into the school, he 
does not stare at them, but minds his study. 

He never whispers or plays, in school ; 
for he knows his teacher would not like it, 

His parents and teacher want him to 
learn, and he always tries to please them. 

When the scholars in his class, are reading,

or reciting, he is very attentive, and learns* 
a great deal by hearing them. 

When he reads, or recites, he is very 
careful to speak his words plain. 

If he writes he keeps his paper quite clean, 
and is very sorry when he makes a blot. 

When he does not understand his lesson, 
he asks his teacher to explain it to him. 

But he does not interrupt him when he 
is very busy. 

When he has a hard lesson, he begins it 
quick ; for he says, the sooner I go about 
it, the sooner it will be dene. 

He is very kind to all the little scholars, 
and takes care not to hurt them. 

He tells them what to do, an* \ how to be- 
have, and take* mitts to tenvn »uem.

"When he hears children tell lies, or speak 
bad words, he tells them how wicked it is, 
and requests them to do so no more. 

When school is out, he goes directly horn e, 
and does not play by the way.as bauboys do. 

Come ; let us go into the thick shade, for 
it is noon, and the summer sun beats hot 
upon our heads. 

The shade is pleasant, and cool ; and the 
branches, like a curtain, meet over our 
heads, and shut out the sun. 

The grass is soft to our feet ; and a clear 
brook washes the roots of the trees. 

The cattle lie down to sleep in the shade ; 
but we can do what is better ; we can praise 
the God who made us.

The plants and trees are made to give

to God that made him. 

We love to praise God ; and he loveth to 
bless us ; We thank him for our life ; for it 
is a pleasant thing to be alive. 

We cannot do good to all persons,- every 
where, as God can ; but we rejoice that 
God is every where, to do them good. 

Come ; let us go forth into the fields 1 
let us see how the flowers spring ; let 
listen to the singing of the birds ; and sport

Almira and Jane, 

Almira was a very thoughtful girl \ she 
took delight in viewing the beauties of na- 
ture ; and for this purpose, often took a 
walk near the close of the day. 

On her return, one fine evening; she was 
acosted by Jane ; who, though younger 
than herself, was always pleased with Al- 
mira's company. 

After inquiring where she had been, and 
looking at the lilies she had gathered ; Jane 
requested the pleasure of Walking with her 
the next day.

Almira did not forget.but having obtained 
leave, (rather earlier than usual, that they 
might have the more time to converse) pro- 
ceeded on her walk. 

Jane had already informed her Mother 
of what had passed ; and made request, that 
she and her little brother, might join Almi- 
ra in her ramble. 

Her Mamma was very willing, and said, as 
she was about to go ; Do not forget, my 
child, that it is God, who permiteyou to en- 
joy so many pleasures. 

By this time Almira had arrived ; and Jane 
and George were ready to go with her. ^ 

It was a fine da\, and all around seemed 
to inspire them with delight. 

Almira and Jane soon began to converse^ 

and little George listened with attention* 



68 

How pleasant it is, said Jane, to see the 
earth decked so gaily ; the grass so fresh 
and green ; and do see the little lambs yon- 
der ! 

JLU O yes ; emblems of innocence ; how 
sweetly they play ; the musick of the birds 
also affords me much pleasure ; do you not 
like to hear it ? 

Ja. I do ; but I suppose I have not listen- 
ed to it so much as you have. 

JL Indeed, I sometimes rise very early 
on purpose to hear them ; but I do not say 
right, I rise because their sweet notes seem 
to say ; Awake* and give thanks too. 

The same God that made them,and teaches 
them to sing, made us, and takes care of us. 

Ja. And bestows on us many blessings 
which they never knew* 

Geo. But how can you say so ; sister ? I 
think the birds are very happy, and some- 
times wish, that, like them, I could skip 
from bough to bough. 

Ja. Why George, they know but very 
little ; they were never taught to read, as 
we have been. 

Al. Nor did they ever hear of heaven : 
but we, if we love the Lord, and obey him, 
may hope to be happy here, and happy in 
the world to come* 

Geo. Now I seethe folly of my wishes ; I 
think I shall never, again, desire to be a 
bird ; I would much rather learn to read, and 
become wise. 

Ja. Have w# not yet arrived at the extent 
pf ydttf walk ; Almira^? 



69 
Al. Yes ; this is the very place where I 

gathered tke lilies. 
On the ? anks of this little rivulet I admire 

to sit, among the shrubs, or under the shade 

of some of these willows. 




Ja. George, Ibelieve is delighted by look- 
ing into the brook ; what do you see George ? 

Geo. Some frogs, and a great many little 
fishes ; I wish I had brought my hook and 
line, I believe I could catch some. 

Ja. But put in your hand,and catch some ; 
$iey will not hurt you. 

Geo. But they are so shy, and nimble,that, 
before I can touch them, they dart away. 

As they walked along the side of the 
stream, viewing the beauties of nature, and 
listening to the melody of the bkds, Jane be- 
gan to be very pensive ; 

I have been thinking, said she that the 
God who made, and takes care of all these 
things, mustbe very great, and very good. 

Al He is so, indeed ; he is worthy of all 
eur praise.

that shall be revealed in that world.

be happy indeed ; we shall never grow

The evening drew on, and they returned- 
home ; little George being so well pleas- 
ed, that he related the whole story to his 
papa.

But who is the^hepheixPs shepherd ? who

She nourisheth its body with food ; she 
feedeth its mind with knowledge. 

When it is sick, she nurseth it with ten- 
der love ; she watches over it when it is 
asleep. 

But who is the parent of the mother * 
who nourishes her with good things ? 

Whose arms are about her, to keep her

heal her ? 

God is the parent of the mother ; he is 
the parent of all ; for he created all. 

All the men, and all the women in the 
world, are his children ; he loves them alk 
he is good to all. 

God is our shepherd, and we will follow 
him ; he is our father ; we will love and 
©bey him.

it springeth up among brambles.

That country is heaven ; it is the country 
of them that are good. 

This earth is pleasant, for it is God's; and 
it is filled with many delightful things.

And Jesus opened his mouth, and taught 
the people, saying : 

Blessed are the poor in spirit ; for theirs 
is the kingdom of near en. 

Blessed are they that mourn ; for they 
shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek ; for they shall in- 
herit the earth 

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst af- 
tej righteousness ; for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful ; for they shall 
obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in heart ; for they 
shall see- God. 

Blessed are the peace makers ; for they 

iall be called the children of God.

On some jceaskms it requires more cour- 
age to live, tiian to die. 



Anger occasions a loss of time, as well 
as of peace. 

Storms and tempestsjform in the lowerpafts 
of the air, while all above is quiet,and serene. 
Anger restethin the bosom of fools, but 
at man of exalted mind, is superior to it,

There are no greater slaves than those 
who serve anger. 

A good and wise man, is not the enemy 
of wicked men, but the reprover of them. 

He that has revenge in his power, and 
does not use it, is a great man. 

Difficulties stengthen the mind, as la*- 
bour does the body. 

It is much easier to check our passions in 
the beginning, than to stop them in their 
course* 

The pleasures of sense, at best, are short 
lived j but the delights of virtue are secure 
and perpetual. 

Men would often be ashamed of their 
best actions, were the world to witness the 
motive-, wfaich produce them,

An affectation of wisdom often prey eats 
$ur becoming wise. 

Come, little children, let us speak of 
God ; let us speak of him ; for he is here* 
and he is also afar off. 

He is in the wind, and in the tempest i 
in the light, and in the darkness ; in an at* 
om, and in a world. 

His presence filleth the whole universe ; 
and his ear is open to the cries of all cre- 
ated things. 

He heareth the cheerful song of the lark ? 
at the early dawn ; and the hum of th«* 
young bee that fluttereth round the rose. 

He heareth the bleating of the lamb, and 
attendethto the lowing of the qx : he pro-

Summer morning in a Flower Garden. 

What sweets are these, which so agreea- 
bly salute my nostrels ? they are the breath 
of the flowers, the incense of the garden. 

How liberally does the jessamine dis- 
pense her odoriferous riches ! how delicious- 
\y has tf?e woodbine embalmed this morn- 
ing walk ! the air is all perfume. 

And is not this a most engaging induce-

to a feast of fragrancy ?

When the flowers decay/ and the petals 
fall off; when the leaves grow yellow with 
age ; then do the fruit and seed appear. 

The birds of trie air delight in its branch-

Come little children, attend to the admo- 
nition of your father, and be mindful of the 
instruction of your mother. 

Give ear unto their words, for they are 
spoken for your good ; remember their 
-advice, for itproceedeth from love, 

Behold the bee, and the ant, they teach 
us industry ; they labour in summer, 2nd lay 
up a store for winter. 

The stork attends upon its feeble parent ; 
conveyetk her from danger, and seeketh 
food for her support. 

The young foal knoweth its d and 
(he lamb its own mother ; even the bear 
lev e'h her own whelps, and they imitate hei 
fce* ions with delight. 

fh€ hen gatl^retk her chickens under 






h r wings ; she seeketh diligently for their 
food. 

Although she cannot speak, her voice is 
intelligible to their ears; and for their ben- 
efit she cSlleth unto them. 

But who hath taught the bee, or the aiijfc 
to labour ? Who hath told them that win** 
ier's cold succeeds to summer's heat? 

Who hath taught the young stork to be 
careful ot its parent f or the hen to provide 
for her chickens 1 

Who hath taught the bear to love her 
whelps ? or who hath instructed the horse 
to know his feeder ? 

It is God ; it is he who feedeth the birds of 
the air, and deckeththe fields with flowers*. 

His goodness is over all his works ; just 
and true are all his ways ; and will he not 
teach you, O, ye little children ! 

Yes, he hath promised that he will teach 
you; listen therefore to his commands, and, 
when you hear, obey.

His hoof spreadeth wide, so that his feet 
enter not into the frozen snow ; it would be 
difficult to trace his steps. 

He seeketh food where it is not seen ; e- 
ven beneath the snow he findeth moss 
which satisfieth his hunger. 

The sun returneth at his appointed sea- 
son ; and shineth from the sowing of the 
corn till the reaping of the same. 

Now let us consider the torrid zone ; 
where the inhabitants feel powerfully the

How shall they endure the scorching

Some passing clouds assuage the exces-

arise from the ocean, which purify the air. 

The ground yieldeth an abundant in-

there, in the awfulness of his power, hema-

The storms descend from the tops of the 
mountains, and the thunder is heard in

The lightning blazeth through the air, 
and the rain descends in torrents. 

The roaring of the wind is heard from afar ;

Many ways are used by different people, 
to facilitate the labour of travelling, and con- 
veying heavy articles from place to place. 
Horses, and other animals, are trained,to 
carry people and burdens on their backs, 
and to draw various kinds of carriages. 

But where it can be practised, we know 
of no method more convenient, than that of 
going by water, in vessels or boats. 




Boats are used for crossing rivers, going 
to market, catching fish, and many other 
purposes : 

And they form a very pleasant and agree- 
able mode of going from place to place, ac- 
ross the water, when the distance is not great. 

Andinlarge ships we may cross the ocean, 
and visit the most distant parts of the earth. 

In going short distances, small boats are 
made to pass through the water, by means 
of paddles or oars. 

But some boats, and all large vessels, 
have sails ; and the wind blows tkem swiftly

It is very pleasant to sail or* the water,but

For he commandeth,and raiseththe stormy

They mount up to the heaven ; they go

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a 
drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 

Then they cry unto the Lord in their troub- 
le, and hebringeth them out of their distress. 

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the 
waves are still. 

Then are they glad, because they be qui- 
et; sohe bringeththemto their desiredhav'en* 

Oh that men would praise the Lord for 
hie goodness, and for his wonder! 
to the children of men.

JVI ARY. 

And so you do not like to spell, 
Mary, my dear ; O very well ; 
^Tis dull and troublesome yon say ; 
And you had rather be at play. 

Then bring me all your books again :— 
Nay ; Mary, why do you complain ? 
For as you do not choose to read, 
You shall not have your books, indeed. 

So as you wish to be a dunce, 
Pray go and fetch me them at once > 
For if you will not learn to spell, 
Tis vain to think of reading well. 

Now,don ? t j'ou tbink,you'il blush to own, 
When you become a woman grown, 
Without one good excuse to plead, 
That you have never learned to read ? 

O dear, Mamma, said Mary then. 
Do let me have my books again* 
I'il not fret anymore indeed. 
If yon will let m-e leva to rewL*

THE VIOLET. 

Down in a green, and shady bed, 

A modest violet grew ; 
Its stalls was bent, it hung its head 5 

As if to hide from view* 

And yet it was a lovely flower, 

Its colours bright and fair : 
It might have grae'd a rosy bow'r* 

Instead of hiding there. 

Yet there it was content to bloom, 

In modest tints array'd ; 
And there it spread its sweet perfume, 

Within the silent shade. 

Then let me to the valley go, 

This pretty flow'r to see ; 
That I may also learn to grow, 

In sweet humility.

TUB ORPHAN. 

My father and mother are dead, 

No friend or relation 1 have ; 
And now the cold earth is their bed, 

And daisies grow over their grave, 

I cast mj eyes into the tomb ; 

The sight made me bitterly cry : 
I said, and is this the dark room, 

Where my father and mother must lie f 

I cast my eyes round me again, 

Jn hopes some protector to see ; 
Alas ! but the search was in vain, 

For none had compassion on me 
I cast my eyes up to the sky, 

I groan'd, though I said not a word ; 
I et God was not deaf to my cry ; 

The friend of the fatherless heard. 
O yes, and he graciously smii'd, 

And bid me on him to depend ; 
He whisper'd — fear not, little child, 

For I am thy father and friend. 

DEATH OF A ft INFAiVi. * 

How solemn did the moment seem, 

When from its tender parents' love, 
Death's chilly hand, to worlds unseen, 

A lovely infant, did remove. 
One hour what beauty deek'd its face I 

What blending smiles with white and red ! 
A moment, and its lovely grace, 

And all its active powers are fled. 
Who could behold with tearless eye, 

And witness such a heartfelt scene, 
Born just to weep, and smile, and die, 

Nor understand what pleasures mean !■

Its gentle voice no more is heard ; 

No more its infant wants made known \ 
Its spirit has returned to God ; 
Its dust lies silent in the tomb, 

Though silent, yet, it seems to say. 
In unheard words of deep reply : 

Though longer on the earth you stay, 
Parents, and friends, you too must die. 

Obedient to his high command 

Who formed me first, and gave me breath : 
I early haste, and meekly bend, 
To taste the bitter cup of death. 

Mourn not ; nor longer grieve to see, 
One who enjoyed your fondest care ; 

Only expect to follow me, 

And for the dreadful change prepare,

AUTUMN. 

See the leaves, around us falling, 
Dry and wither'd to the ground ; 

Thus to thoughtloss mortals calling, 
With a sad and solemn sound. 

Youth, though yet no losses grieve jou, 
Gay in health and manly grace, 

Let not cloudless skies deceive you, 
Summer gives to autumn place. 

Yearly in our course recurring, 

Messengers of shortest stay* 
Thus we preach this truth unerring, 
Heaven and earth thall pass away* 

On the tree of life eternal, 

Man, let all thy hopes be staid ; 

Which alone, forever vernal, 

Reams a leaf that ne'er shall facte.

GEORGE AND HiS MOTHER. 

Ma, George, you have done extremely ill 

In staying from your school to day ; 

And what is still much worse, I hear, 

You've been with naughty boys to pk*y. 
Geo. Well I don't like to go ; mamma ; 

Tom Willis never goes to school. 
And always when he sees me go, 

He says I am a little fool. [Brown, 

Ma. George, have you seen poor Philip 

The beggar man with wooden legs 
Who hobbles on two crutches round, 

And stops at every door and begs ? 
Geo. O yes, mamma, I know him well* 

And shocking 'tis indeed to see, 
A human being on the earth, 

In such distress and poverty. 
Ma. Poor man, I also knew him well, 

When he was young and gay like you : 
He was his father's dearest hope, 
i a fond mother's darling too.

His father was a laboring man, 

And Philip was a sprightly boy ; 
And how to educate him well, 

Did many an anxious thought employ. 
We*ll give him learning, wife, said he, 

And so they sent him to a school : 
But after he had been a while, 

His love of books >egan to cool, 
He hated studying all tae time, 

And play'd with every boy he could : 
His father talkM ; his' mother wept, 

But all did not make Philip good. 
One time some wicked fellows ss id, 

Come, Fhilip, we are going off, 
We'll hide till folks are gone to bed, 

And then wc can get "fruit enough* 
F Hip agreed to go with them, 

i^d so they all went off at night : 
His parents knew not where he was ; 

And they were almost wild witk fright 

10 



110 

At ten o'clock, some men and boys 
Brought Fhilip in upon abed : 
. Bis mother caught a hasty look; 
lie's dead, she scream'd.my child is dead. 



No, srdd a man, he is not dead, 

Bat he has met a heavy stroke ; 
He c wall ; a weighty stone 

Fell or: oth his ]egs are broken 

The surgeon came ana cut them off; 

Hi- friends cc -»U1 give him no relief; 
His parents mourn 3 d their lives awaj, 

And sunk and died in hopeless grief. 
An alms house now was Philip's home. 

And sad enough, poor boy, he far'd ; 
Whole nights he lay andgroan'd with pain; 

But no one knew, and no one car'd. 
At length when many a tedious month 

Had pass : d,thej made him wooden legs, 
And now, with crutches for his heip, 

Ke hobbles round the streets and begs. 
Geo. \ Pil off to school' 

This instant, and you sha'n't coiuplaifc 
About my playing truant Ma, 

Or seeking idle boys again.

Explanation of the pauses and other marks. 

, A comma, requires that the reader stop, while he 
could pronounce one syllable. 

; Asimicoloa, requires double the pause of a comma. 

: A colon, requires that the reader should stop while 
he could pronounce three syllables. 

• A period, finishes a sentence, and requires a fall of 
voice, and a pause equal to the time of pronouncing 
four sylaoles. 

? An interrogation point, is placed after a question ; as 
Who is that ? 

! A$ exclamation point, is placed after a word or sen- 
tence expressing wonder, surprise, joy, or any sud- 
den and violent emotion of the mind. 

These two points, require a pause equal to that of the 
period, but no fall of the '<oice. 

( ) A parenthesis, includes an occasional remark, which 
serves to illustrate the author's meaning, but is not 
necessary for the grammatical construction of the 
sentence : -It should be read quicker &nd with a 
lower tone of voice. 

? An apostrophe, marks the possessive case, as, John's 
book : or. it denotes a contraction, as, us J d for «**.- 
ed ; Til for I will* 

A quotation inckides a passage taken from some 
other auihor in his own words. 

- A 'hyphen, shows that the syllables separated by it, 

belong together ; it is used mos#y when words are 

divided at the end of a line. 
A The caret, is used only in writing ; it shows the 

place where a letter, word, or sentence, omitted by 

mistake, should be inserted. 
/ The accent, shows that the greatest stress of voice 

should be on the syllable over which it is placed. 

— A dash, placed before a quotation, snows that only 
a part of a sentence is quoted ; between letters* it 
shows that a pan of the word is omitted, as, K — g 
for king : at the end of a sentence, it denotes an ab- 
rupt pause. 

{£/* An index, points to a remarkable passage. 

U" A paragraph, begins a new subject. 

*tH An asterisk, aad other references, point to a note 

in the margin, at the foot of a page. 
[ ] Crotchets, include a word or sentence inserted for 

explanation.
